"A Kind and Helpful Me"
This week we will learn with a thematic focus of "a kind and helpful me".
Students will learn ways to help others in good times and bad times. We will identify when a need is present and how we can best handle a situation that presents a need. Students will design "thank you" cards and explore the idea of saying "thank you" through their words and actions.
We will enjoy many learning stations with a holiday focus as well! There might just be some "bats, pumpkins, and spiders oh my" in our classroom this week!
